Buttons
G0
will clear the entry at the cursor. When programming zone descriptions, buttons
3
and
6
will scroll not only through numbers 0-9, but through the alphabet and a series of punctuation marks and
symbols as well. (Roughly note the order in which the letters, numbers and symbols are displayed so that you will be
able to determine the proper direction to scroll, up or down, for fastest access. As familiarity improves, so will
programming speed). When the description has been entered and is satisfactory as displayed (e.g. “GARAGE”), you
MUST press the
U
or
D
button to save it in memory.
To advance to the next zone (or to any other zone, for that matter), position the cursor over the displayed Zone Number,
i.e., “01” using buttons
1
and
2
. Change the Zone Number using buttons
3
and
6
. Repeat the
zone-description programming procedure for the new zone. Advance to the next zone and repeat until all zones (up to
32 zones) have been programmed.
ARMING AND DISARMING THE SYSTEM
In the normal disarmed state, only the green STATUS LED will be on and the display will read “
SYSTEM READY
”. To silence
an alarm, enter any User Code, then press the
U
or
D
button. Any valid User Code may be used to arm or disarm; an
Arm-Only Code may only be used to arm.
Arming
!
To arm,
enter a valid User Code, then press the
D
button. (For all "Classic GEM-RP keypads)
!
To arm,
enter a valid User Code, then press the
Q
button. (For all "K Series" keypads)
(If a wrong code is entered, the keypad will display “
INVALID ENTRY / TRY AGAIN
”). The green STATUS LED will go off, the
red ARMED LED will go on, and the display will read “
PLEASE EXIT IN / XXX SECONDS
” (“
XXX
” representing the programmed
exit-delay time, in seconds). The exit delay will immediately start counting down toward “000”, in 10-second
decrements, indicating the available time remaining to exit through an exit/entry door.
Note:
If a System Trouble is
displayed, there should be an attempt to correct the system trouble (for example by calling an alarm maintenance or an
alarm repairman). If this cannot be done, then press the
C
button to allow 5 minutes to access the keypad without
the system trouble display. Immediate attention should be provided, when system troubles are encountered.
Disarming
When the exit time has elapsed, the display will read “
SYSTEM ARMED
”. This indicates that upon entering the premises
through an exit/entry door, there will be an entry delay to allow time to disarm the panel. The GEM-RP1CAe2 or GEM-
K1CA display will read “
DISARM NOW / XXX SECONDS
” (“
XXX
” representing the programmed entry-delay time, in seconds). The
sounder will come on and the entry delay will immediately start counting down toward “000” in intervals of 10 seconds,
indicating the available time remaining to disarm the panel. (
Note:
The sounder will "pulse" with the GEM-P9600/3200
version 30 and above, and with the GEM-P1632/816 version 10 and above. The sounder will sound a "steady" tone
with the GEM-P9600/3200 version 20 and lower, and with the GEM-P1632/816 version 9A and lower). The sounder will
emit a pulsing warning tone during the final 10 seconds.
To disarm the panel,
enter a valid User Code, then press the
U
or
D
button.
Arming in AWAY MODE
AWAY MODE provides for full protection of the perimeter and interior zones. Exit/Entry doors are provided with Exit/
Entry delays. A "Classic" (non "K Series") keypad will display “SYSTEM ARMED”, while a "K Series" keypad will display
“ARMED AWAY.” The RED LED will remain ON. With "K Series" keypads such as the GEM-K1CA and the GEM-
K2AS, press
Q
to begin the exit delay process (the exit delay will immediately start counting down toward “000”, in
10-second decrements, indicating the available time remaining to exit through an exit/entry door).
Arming in STAY MODE
STAY MODE provides partial protection by allowing free movement within the premises, while still protecting the perimeter
zones. Exit/Entry doors are provided with Exit/Entry delays. A "Classic" series keypad will display “
SYSTEM ARMED
” with a
Bypass Icon and a RED LED that remains ON, while a GREEN LED blinks. With "K Series" keypads such as the GEM-K1CA
and the GEM-K2AS, pressing the STAY button bypasses all interior zones simultaneously, and arms the panel in "STAY
MODE". The keypad will display "
ARMED STAY
". If the STAY button is pressed when the panel is already armed in STAY
MODE, the panel will enter "Instant Mode" and eliminate the entry time delay period.
